Thought of the Week 1-23-2008
"It was character that got us out of bed, commitment that moved us into action and discipline that enabled us to follow through."
– Zig Ziglar
I just thought this was appropriate for the day! And on another side note, check out this quote that is above my desk:
“Watch your thoughts, for they become words. Choose your words, for they become actions. Understand your actions, for they become habits. Study your habits, for they will become your character. Develop your character, for it becomes your destiny.”
These words are forgotten words today:
Character
Integrity
Devotion
Covenant
Passion
I want to remember these words today. The one I want to remark on at this point is integrity. Very simply put, integrity is, “living your values.” Today, let’s take a moment and reflect on exactly what our values are and them imagine what it must take for us to actually act on those values daily.
Will we need to make changes?
What changes do you need to make to live your values?
Could you devote 15 minutes of your day to planning your day to live those values?
Now, plan to speak words that lead you to those actions and there you are! You are set on a path toward your destiny!
Have a great week!
